Notice of DVD Piracy
I truly believe that most folks are honest. However, it has come to my attention that a number of people who have purchased only one copy of each of my Video DVDs and are duplicating and selling illegal copies of them on Ebay. These sellers are also copying informational text, my biography, paintings and photos from my website and are pasting these copyrighted items onto their auction pages. In some cases, unsuspecting buyers of these pirated DVDs have paid double the cost of an original DVD from me. Please be alert to any seller who is selling or has sold numerous copies of a same title (see recent sales titles in their Ebay feedback).

If you find any of my DVDs offered on ebay that you are suspicious of, I would appreiate it if you email me at powellstudio@dslextreme.com. I will (without involving you) immediately investigate that auction and seller and if I find it is bootlegged, report it to Ebay. Ebay is very cooperative about this. I greatly appreciate your assistance in helping to put an end to this pirating of DVDs.

Some illegal sellers also have an inventory of DVDs from many artists and are doing the same to them. I have attempted to notify these other artists so they might also investigate this illegal practice against them.

Thank you for your help,

William F. Powell
